it goes beyond high revenue its also about the tech know how & new manufacturing techniques of suppliers this is where the vertically integrated maze wins

It is reported that the eagle-wing hinge contains 100 pairs of parts, which is a comprehensive problem integrating mathematics, physics, materials science, industrial design and other disciplines, which almost determines the success or failure of the folding machine.

The hinge material is liquid metal. At present, only Yian Technology can supply it in China. The cost of the hinge shaft is extremely high. It contains dozens of metal parts and the assembly process is complicated. These parts require metal manufacturing processes such as MIM, CNC, and stamping. The requirements for suppliers are also very high, and suppliers need to have the ability to handle several metal materials such as aluminum and liquid metal. In addition, compared to the laptop hinge, the precision, durability, strength and thinness of the mobile phone hinge hinge are much higher than the laptop hinge!
